The design for Batman’s Batarangs seen in Zack Snyder’s DC movies Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League is now official DC Comics canon. The updated Batarang design can be seen in this week’s Batman #62 by writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads.

Also it’s always awesome to see Zack Snyder’s designs being used the comics, first the Knightmare costume and now the Batarangs. Really cool! pic.twitter.com/2My9xyYxsQ

Twitter user @ZayyanFarooqi made the observation on Twitter, posting a comparison of the two. Series artist Gerads chimed in with his reasoning for using the Batarang design used by Ben Affleck’s Caped Crusader, saying, “I took a deep dive on batarangs, turns out the Battfleck one is my favorite, WHO KNEW! I don’t like the skinny ones. They always look completely ineffective.”
